Our client told us to do a full makeover of her living room. We brought in a nice green palette, sleek furniture and all the passion in the world. We are very happy with the outcome! Uganda Got Talent! All the pieces you see are proudly made in Uganda by our team!

Throwback Monday! This was at our first workshop 5 years ago. Even at big meetings, I still introduce myself like this:

The picture below is the first product we ever made. I didn't know if there was a market for modern furniture when we started so we decided to make 1 item and see if it would sell. Worst case scenario, we would have a nice piece at home.
When we say "Proudly made in Uganda", this is what we mean!
In 10 years, we dream of people looking at Ugandan furniture the same way they look at furniture from Italy or Scandinavian countries.
It is a journey but Uganda has all the talent to get there!
"Made in Uganda" should mean "Amazing Products". Nothing less! We are so proud with how this console came out.
